gitlab-rspec

Shared RSpec helpers reused by the monolith and the in-tree gems.

Source

gems/gitlab-rspec/. Re-usable matchers, helpers, and shared examples.

Highlights

• stub_env — set ENV for one example.
• stub_const — replace a constant safely.
• eventually_consistent_test — retry a block while the assertion would have failed (for race-prone tests).
• silence_stdout and silence_stderr blocks.
• Helpers that compose with other testing libraries (FactoryBot, WebMock, Sidekiq).

Why a gem

The monolith's spec/support/ is huge and Rails-aware. The gem version offers the subset that small gems can use without booting Rails.
